Revelation 13:16-17
King James Version (KJV)
16 And
he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to
receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
The thought line I want you to contemplate is this... "What are you going to do when you can't go to the grocery store to buy food?"
For a few out there this will be only a minor issue but for many it will be life or death. In places like New York City if they simply lost electricity for a long period of time thousands of people would die. Diabetics need insulin refrigerated, most people need food refrigerated and from a grocery store on a weekly basis...
I have no idea when this prophecy in Revelation will come to pass but I do know that it will come to pass. Culture as a whole is becoming more and more dependent on someone else to produce the things they need for life itself! A few generations down the road... what's it going to look like?
So even if WE don't live through that time (which we might) maybe our children or grandchildren will. If we learn how to provide the things essential for life on our own (Clean water, food, shelter, warmth etc...) and pass that knowledge down to our children and grandchildren and they do the same... how many lives could we save?
Growing a garden is the first thing that comes to my mind. Things like tomatoes, potatoes, grains, bananas, and others are actually almost a complete nutritious diet IF let ripen on the plant. (With the exception of the potato which does not in fact ripen.)
Milk and eggs are also a complete diet. Though you may be deficient in some areas, depending on the diet of the milk and egg providers, you can survive. This makes logical sense too. When a baby is born (animal or human) it eats nothing and drinks nothing other than milk and it is healthy and happy. Baby chickens inside the egg survive off of the yolk and it is a complete healthy nutritious diet for them.
Meat can be a complete diet in emergency situations , though you must eat the fat. The fat is where many of the minerals and vitamins are stored, though the toxins are too. I would only recommend this if there was no other option.
Beyond gardens though... What if your land is taken, your seeds destroyed, your plants uprooted? We are talking about a tyrannical government run by satan who wants everyone to worship him or die. If they know you have a garden and are thriving and sharing with the community etc... they very likely will come in and destroy it and take your seeds. To an extent this is already starting with GMO and hybrid seeds making it harder and harder to raise healthy food and keep your own seed for the next year.
The number one thing, which I mentioned in a previous blog post Doomsday Prepping is going to be survival knowledge. Since I've gone into that a bit I will just mention it here and not go into detail. What you have they can take what you know they can not...unless they kill you and then it won't matter anyway.
Regardless of whether your a city goer or a country type you might want to contemplate...What are you going to do when you can't go to the grocery store for food? Will you know where and how to get clean water? A person can only go about three days without it!
So... contemplate and pray and maybe do a little learning.
